VIVOTEK Repeater Model ( ) Cascade Connections IB8382-RF3/RT, IB836B-HRT/HRF3. IMPORTANT: Many copper coated aluminum (CCA) and other non-standard conductors cabling products are masqueraded as CAT5E or CAT6 cables. Please avoid using these CCA products especially when cascading PoE cameras. It is a must to use Ethernet cables compliant with the 3P/ETL standard.
Page 8 VIVOTEK When using an ordinary 802.3at PoE switch (30W output per port), up to 1 IB836B-HRT and 1 IB836B-HT can be cascaded in a configuration with a cabling distance of up to 200 meters. Please use quality cables when cabling over an extended distance.

Page 108: Event > Event Settings
VIVOTEK Event > Event settings This section explains how to configure the Network Camera to respond to particular situations (event). A typical application is that when a motion is detected, the Network Camera sends buffered images to an FTP server or e-mail address as notifications. Click on Help, there is an illustration shown in the pop-up window explaining that an event can be triggered by many sources, such as motion detection or external digital input devices.
Page 109 VIVOTEK ■ Event name: Enter a name for the event setting. ■ Enable this event: Select this checkbox to enable the event setting. ■ Priority: Select the relative importance of this event (High, Normal, or Low). Events with a higher priority setting will be executed first.
Page 110 VIVOTEK ■ Audio detection A preset threshold can be configured with an external microphone as the trigger to system event. The triggering condition can be an input exceeding or falling below a threshold. Audio detection can take place as a complement to motion detection or as a method to detect activities not covered by the camera's view.
Page 111 VIVOTEK Once the triggers are configured, they will be listed under the VADP option. 3. Action Define the actions to be performed by the Network Camera when a trigger is activated. ■ Trigger digital output for seconds Select this option to turn on the external digital output device when a trigger is activated. Specify the length of the trigger interval in the text box.
Page 112 VIVOTEK Add server It is necessary to configure the server and media settings so that the Network Camera will know what action to take (such as which server to send the media files to) when a trigger is activated. Click server to open the server setting window.
Page 113 VIVOTEK To verify if the email settings are correctly configured, click Test. The result will be shown in a pop-up window. If successful, you will also receive an email indicating the result. Click Save server to enable the settings. Note that after you configure the first event server, the new event server will automatically display on the Server list.
Page 114 VIVOTEK ■ Passive mode Most firewalls do not accept new connections initiated from external requests. If the FTP server supports passive mode, select this option to enable passive mode FTP and allow data transmission to pass through the firewall. The firmware default has the Passive mode checkbox selected.

VIVOTEK Applications > Tampering detection This section explains how to set up camera tamper detection. With tamper detection, the camera is capable of detecting incidents such as redirection, blocking or defocusing, or even spray paint. Please follow the steps below to set up the camera tamper detection function: 1.
Page 127: Applications > Audio Detection
VIVOTEK Applications > Audio detection Audio detection, along with video motion detection, is applicable in the following scenarios: 1. Detection of activities not covered by camera view, e.g., a loud input by gun shots or breaking a door/window. 2. A usually noisy environment, such as a factory, suddenly becomes quiet due to a breakdown of machines.
Page 128 VIVOTEK You can use the Profile window to configure a different Audio detection setting. For example, a place can be noisy in the day time and become very quiet in the night. 1. Click on the Enable this profile checkbox. Once the Audio detection window is opened, the current sound input will be interactively indicated by a fluctuating yellow wave diagram.
Page 129: Applications > Package Management - A.k.a., Vadp (Vivotek Application Development Platform)
